I've considered removing them in upstream just to shut rpmlint up.

rpmlint is warning about details which don't cause malfunctions or are
harmful. This behavior is useful when being used as an interactive aid
to assist a packager/reviewer. But I don't consider this behavior to be
useful when rpmlint is being used as part of an automated QA process.
